G'day
Not much of a change up here in the Top End.
I saw a White Winged Triller the other day and suddenly realised that I
have not seen one or a Varied Triller in the last three months.
Perhaps they all went south, at least the White-winged ones.
With the dry spell we are having the avian population is again moving
around. The thousands of Little Corellas we had down the road has
lessened considerably and they are now flying out of an afternoon in a
different direction.
There are at present lots of young Willie-wag Tails, Blue Faced Honey
Eaters and White-fronted and Black-faced Woodswallows around.
The Greater Bower Birds had their your around Christmas time and the
Little Friar Bird juveniles with their yellow marking were around in
October November last year.
The Red Goshawk had its young back in September last year.
Gouldian Finches are supposed to breed March to May
It is an interesting spread of breeding.
I am not sure how it relates to seasons but am sure it does.
Cheers

With every change of season this list features sightings that we feel
signify those changes. My autumnal sighting of today was 80+ Little
Raven flying in a tight pack over Watson.

Autumn/winter flocks of Red-rumped Parrots are already beginning to
gather in the Woden parks. Today at about 7am I saw a flock of about 40
flying over Edison Park
